Description:

This training will introduce Psychodramatic Role Theory as a developmental model and alternative way of seeing and understanding our patients. Through lecture and action exercises, participants will gain an understanding of: a) the 3 different types of roles, b) the stages through which roles are developed and c) why Jacob Moreno argued that the “self” emerges from the role. Wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to have fun as we explore the richness of this model.

Goals and Objectives:

At the completion of this continuing education program, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the three types of roles that Jacob Moreno posited and how those roles interact.

2. Describe the stages through which individuals learn roles.

3. Identify how roles can be used to expand our patients’ perceptions, foster personal growth and improve well being.
